Celeriac facts:

Celeriac is a root vegetable that contains lots of yummy nutrition including, vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium and fibre!

With it being high in vitamin K and potassium it helps with our heart health and helps our bones become big and strong!

It is closely related to celery and parsnips which is why it has a nutty, celery-like flavour. When eaten raw it has a crunchy texture and when it is cooked it becomes slightly sweeter.

How to prepare celeriac:

There are many ways to prepare this vegetable but here is a simple recipe to help get you started:

• First you need to either completely clean or peel your celeriac, whichever is easier for you.
• Then using a big knife, chop up the celeriac in whatever way works best for you, could be big wedges (the bigger it is, the longer it will take to cook!)
• Tumble in some olive oil and seasoning then roast at 180°C the celeriac is soft and golden (probably at least half an hour).
